In Romania, a wave of riots

Due to the current government a lot of citizens took to the streets.

The initiators of the protests were made by members of a social group “Corruption kills”.

Thousands of protests were held in many cities of Romania: protesters oppose changes in the field of justice, demanding the resignation of the leadership of Parliament.

“We went to the protests to demand respect for the principle of judicial independence and separation of powers in the state,” said one of the protesters.

The impetus for the protests was the legislative initiative of the Minister of justice of Romania Tudorel Toader, according to which the President of Romania may lose the right to appoint the heads of Department on fight against corruption and the Directorate for combating organized crime, and the right to appoint judges and prosecutors is transmitted to the Higher Council of prosecutors, not the Supreme Council of magistracy.

Romanian President Klaus Johanns said the initiative of the Minister of justice undermine the rule of law and independence of justice. The initiators of the protests were made by members of a social group “Corruption kills”.

In the country’s capital – Bucharest – estimated media marched about 10 000 people.
